After a truly dominant performance against Championship outfit Stoke City in the FA Cup, Leicester prepared for a much tougher battle when they welcomed a European-chasing Southampton side to the King Power on Saturday.

The Foxes did not have it all their own way and it was a frustrating night for Jamie Vardy in particular, but James Maddison rifled home in the first half before the ever-impressive Harvey Barnes wrapped up the three points in the dying embers of the match.

Tuesday's hosts leapfrogged reigning champions Liverpool into second with that victory and remain above them after their draw with Manchester United, but the Foxes ultimately dropped to third as Manchester City cruised past Crystal Palace, although a win here would see Brendan Rodgers's men reach the summit for at least 24 hours.

Saturday's triumph on home soil represented Leicester's third win on the bounce in all competitions and maintained their 100% start to 2021, with Rodgers now overseeing a six-game unbeaten run as the Foxes display their title credentials.

However, it is Leicester's form on the road which has propelled them into title contention this season, as they have only tasted victory in three of their last eight top-flight home matches before facing a Chelsea side with a point to prove.

Chelsea's performance against a relegation-threatened and 10-man Fulham would not have eased most of the pressure on Frank Lampard's shoulders, but the Blues eventually got over the line in a hotly-contested London derby.

The effervescent Mason Mount bagged the decisive goal in the 78th minute as Chelsea ended a three-game winless run in the Premier League, as well as avoiding a fourth-straight league defeat on the road.

Lampard's crop had made the journey back from Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal with zero points to their name, but the top-four race is very much open and Chelsea are very much still in the mix despite their below-par results and performances.

However, the Blues remain four points off the Champions League places after Man City and Tottenham Hotspur both took maximum points at the weekend, and the Blues also have Everton - who remain three above with a game in hand - to worry about in their bid for a top-four finish.

Chelsea have only suffered one defeat in their last 12 games across all competitions with Leicester, who most recently beat the Blues at home during their triumphant 2015-16 campaign.

Leicester 1-3 Chelsea.

I'm a Chelsea fan but then, I've learned to lower my expectations as far as Chelsea is concerned and Lampard is still there as their coach.

Hope you take your dinner before they play ?

Bcs it may end up in disappointment as usual

I think Leicester has solidity and will win.

The current Chelsea squad is a huge disappointment.

And Timo Werner is turning out to be the biggest Flop of the season closely followed by Hakim Ziyech.
